=== Burial registers ===
Usually there is a legal requirement to maintain records regarding the burials (or interment of ashes) within a cemetery. These burial registers usually contain (at a minimum) the name of the person buried, the date of burial and the location of the burial plots within the cemetery, although some contain far more detail. The [[Arlington National Cemetery]], one of the United States' largest military cemeteries, has a registry, ''The ANC Explorer'', which contains details such as photographs of the front and back of the tombstones.<ref>{{cite web | url= http://publicrecords.onlinesearches.com/public-records-blog/2012/11/01/arlington-national-cemetery-burial-database-goes-online/| title= Arlington National Cemetery Records Go Online |archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20130328221858/http://publicrecords.onlinesearches.com/public-records-blog/2012/11/01/arlington-national-cemetery-burial-database-goes-online/ |archivedate=March 28, 2013| website= OnlineSearches| date= November 1, 2012| accessdate=}}</ref> Burial registers are an important resource for [[genealogy]].
